Beautiful country like GHANA now looking like it has gone to the dogs. GA chiefs, Ministers are all useless and has no plans for the future of Ghana. They are milking the country dry and with no message they have resorted in this kind of bring the country to a halt supporting something of no substance. Mahama must go with all these useless ministers

As long as Ghanaians still believe in this 1st Century superstition, fake Pastors and Mallams will continue extorting money from them.

Superstition is indeed a major cause of the Ghanaian backwardness.

Use your common sense to know that a human being cannot fly without any supporting equipment and that the phenomenom of a witch flying is only a state of mind ie mentally deranged person or a person who is hallucinating will tell you that he was able to fly.

They would not know what hit them once our planes start flying.

Givne the fact that we are now secretly trial testing our prototypes of 75yr-old mental patients with the capability to do 30miles per hour without even a broom then BOEING and AIRBUS should know that this is the end for these Western Capitalist plane manufacturers ripping us off our holidays money in excessive tickets.

Auntie Gifty/Afia after fully tested and approved by the Ghana Standard Board would now save me the hustle of never on time VVIP or Metro Bus from Accra to Kumasi.

Just for GHC100 I can hitch a ride on her back from Oforikrom at 5.30am and by 6.00am I should be eating my fufu at Kumasi. "Wompe wei a wope den".

My only concern is that these crashes with these human planes have been happening too often. Ghana Civil Aviation Authorities are sleeping on the job. Maybe there should be a law that says only 25-35yr olds women with a hardback are allowed in this business.

I don't really fancy the idea that midway through my journey whilst surfing on my Ipad looking forward to my 6.00am fufu and abinkyi I should suddenly be dropped on the Aluminium roof of Agya Manso's house.

Given the fact that I'm a man and men are not allowed in this profession of African Human Airways (AHA) the only conclusion at that time of the morning is that I'm an Armed Robber.

Either way this is the end of BOEING and AIRBUS.

We have arrived!

When will the Ghana Journalists Association run a course on mental illness for its members?

They keep reporting that witches have crash-landed, when it is obvious that the old ladies are mentally challenged. Diseases that afflict old people, such as dementia and Alzheimers, can cause them to wander about at night, not knowing where they are going or how to get back home. In the course of their night-time wanderings, they can knock themselves against obstacles and make noise. That doesn't mean they have "crash-landed!"
These occurrences among the sick are now very common, yet journalists and editors keep publishing "news" about "witches' crash-landings", without bothering tol consult medical opinion before they publish such rubbish as "news"
It is disgraceful that illiteracy among journalists keeps making them miseducate the public in this way. In (excuse me to say)more civilised countries, such sick people have 24-hour care, so that they won't come to any harm. If disgraceful Ghana cannot provide them with care, at least it should not demonise them by calling them witches who have crash-landed.

Journalists should be educators, not peddlers of prejudice and nonsense.
I wouldn't be surprised if they made the reporter who wrote this bilge "Journalist Of The Year!"

A young man was walking along one of Ghana's beaches with his soccer ball. He suddenly spots this bottle which has recently washed up on the beach. It's obvious it's been tossed around for a long time. He picks up the bottle and notices that it still has the cork intact. So, being curious as to what may be inside, he manages to get the cork out and out pops a witch.
After expressing profound appreciation for having been let out of the bottle, the witch grants his benefactor the classic, "one wish" and it will be yours. Being an avid soccer player, it doesn't take him long to say,
"I've always wanted to play in America, but I get seasick on ships and I'm afraid to fly. Would you build me a bridge to America?"
The witch replies:
"Do you know what you are asking for? Do you know how long the bridge would have to be? Think of the enormous challenges for that kind of undertaking. The supports required to reach the bottom of the Atlantic! The concrete and steel it would take! It will nearly exhaust several natural resources. And the maintenance of that bridge! No, think of another wish."
The man said OK and tried to think of a really good wish. Finally, he said,
"I've been married and divorced four times. My wives always said that I don't care and that I'm insensitive. So, I wish that I could understand women ... know how they feel inside and what they're thinking when they give me the silent treatment ... know why they're crying, know what they really want when they say nothing ... know how to make them truly happy ... I really want to understand women and how they think!"
After a long sigh, the witch responds:
"Would you like that bridge with two lanes or four?"

This is true story. It really happened. After careful investigation, the authorities learned the true name of the witch is Otiko. Otiko jumped out of the witch aircraft piloted by Obinim, without the benefit of a parachute. The landing took place in the outskirts of Kumasi, at a witches landing field called Gullible Landing Strip. The person manning the control tower at Gullible Landing Strip is a severely retarded lost soul called Luna-Tic Kwasia Okoampa-Ahoofool. After crashing landing, Otiko the Witch was seen being whisked away in a one-wheel car driven by TB Joshua. Rumor has it that the one-wheel car was on its way to Gambaga to deliver Otiko to a Witches Camp.
